Krowodrza

Krowodrza is a city district in western Kraków that contains residential neighborhoods, schools and educational facilities, and parks and green areas. The area is divided into smaller neighborhoods, each with its own character and local amenities.

The area became Kraków's Administrative District V in 1991, formed by combining several formerly independent villages including Czarna Wieś and Nowa Wieś. This merger marked an important phase of modern urban expansion and administrative reorganization in the city.

The district is home to student housing for AGH University of Science and Technology, which brings academic activity and a young population to the area. This presence shapes daily life and creates a youthful character in many streets and gathering places.

The district connects to central Kraków through multiple tram and bus lines, making it easy to reach by public transportation. The area is walkable and accessible, with local services and public facilities spread throughout the neighborhood.

The district is divided into smaller neighborhoods called osiedles, including Cichy Kącik and Krowodrza Łobzów, each with its own local character. These internal subdivisions reflect the older village structures that form the foundation of the modern district.
